Drop off Point!

Drop off Point!
Captured at the Mull of Galloway, Dumfries and Galloway with the lighthouse in the background. Amazingly the wall seems almost to drop off the edge of the cliff

I have added a song called 'Rock Til You Drop' by Status Quo

Jolie vue sur ces falaises bien présentée !
Effectivement le mur semble s’arrêter brutalement au bord du vide ! Je ne comprends pas la présence de ces murs si ce n'est qu'autre des clôtures de pâturage mais pourquoi dans ce cas ne pas protéger le vide aussi ! Ceci dit, votre photo est superbe, Carol **** Passez une bonne journée !

Thank you very much Henri.

I can only imagine the walls were created by someone with an excellent head for heights!!
It is a long drop and quite frightening

Have a lovely day

THE WALL TO GUIDE THE KEEPERS HOME !

Ecobird club has replied to Pam J club
Thank you Pam. Following this wall to the end would be a dangerous mistake! I am amazed that it finishes so close to the edge and that drop is so steep.

Have a good day. Hugsssss

Thank you Annemarie. The wall that seems to fall off the edge of the cliff amazed me. You wonder who was brave enough to build it!!

So let's hope that lighthouse won't drop off then... ;-)
Beautiful scenery and wonderful capture, Carol!

Ecobird club has replied to Edna Edenkoben club
;-))) I think the lighthouse is fine where it is Edna. The wall on the other hand looks ready to slip into the sea!! Can you imagine building that so close to the edge?!! It is a very steep cliff!!

Thank you very much Taken of course from a safe distance, - you know how much I love heights - not!!

Let's hope not!!
And I don't mind heights...as long as they're safe and not ready to slip into the sea ;-))

Thank you very much Guni. It is a popular location especially in nice weather and it is good to be able to wonder around outside. The views from up there are amazing, but I am always scared of getting too close to the edge!!

Enjoy your day

What is the wall actually for? To seperate cattle? Nice capture, Carol!
16 months ago.
Ecobird club has replied to Stephan Fey club
Thank you very much Stephan. I am not sure to be honest. I think it is just marks the perimeter of the land around the lighthouse as any animals are in the field below.. I can't quite understand why this wall seems to fall off the edge of the cliff, but the lighthouse is built on cliffs 260 feet high, so you may imagine it is quite a drop. It was built by Robert Stevenson. Work commenced in 1828 and it took 2 years to build. The light was first lit in 26th March 1830.

Lovely shot Carol. I love the strong contrasts enhancing the textures of the rock and creating nice shadows on the lower part of the cliff. Have to say I would not have wanted to be the person who place the last stones in the cliff end of that lovely wall.

All the best, Doug

The name of this point really seems to me to come from the practice of the place.
Very dangerous.
